I was talking to a business owner the other day, and she offered me a wearhouse job out of the blue. Talking about how she can't find good help, and how everyone slacks off or stops showing up on time. I refused but before I left I asked her maybe she has been looking for employees in the wrong place. If they're all dumb and lazy, the common element is either her or wherever she's looking. Needless to say she did not agree with my analysis and then called me dumb and lazy, but hey sometimes it's just a failure to communicate. Some men, you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week. Which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it! And, now I don't like, it anymore than you men.
Someone explain to me how these two scenarios are not exactly the same?
Excuse me while I put on my Capitan Obvious glasses. As much as what I'm about to say disgustes me. The company has power and capital, the worker doesn't have as much of either. In a neo-liberal capitalist society distribution depends on capital and/or power. The more capital you have, the more you deserve to have. Put another way, the winners deserve to win again, in capitalism. This doesn't have to be the world we live in, but for most it is.
Yeah, well that's just, like, your opinion, man. (You mentioned the word opinion in a post referencing The Big Lebowski. I had to. Thank you for coming to my shit post.)
I hope you're seeing a doctor or medical professional about that. An unsteady heartbeat can be very serious.
The only reason why cats aren't hunting us down right now is because we're too big to be prey. I read somewhere a long time ago that domestic cats have one of the highest predation success rate in the mammalian class. Meaning once they choose to actually try to hunt something they usually get it.
What's Marvel brain? I tried looking it up but just got a bunch of marvel characters with large heads.
Unless dear reader, you are in a simulation. The writer of this comment, and everyone you've ever met might just be NPCs in your situation.
The Good Place. In my opinion one of the top shows made in the past 10 years.
It's alarming how frequently my vet prescribes benzos for my dog. He's a reactive dog sure but he's not overly anxious. Part of me thinks that it's the vet trying to make one more sale sometimes.
Doing nothing every now and again is great. You should give your grandmother a call though. She's probably thinking about you and it would cheer up her day*. Mine have passed away long ago and I wish I could talk to my grandmothers just one more time.
*Assuming you have a healthy relationship with your grandmother, if you don't I'm sorry and you shouldn't listen to my advice.
As someone else explained, 'desire' in Buddhism is a bit more complicated than ignorant things. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said,
In trying to be clever the message got muffled. My understanding is that Buddhism is about letting go of unhappiness over things that you can't control.
